Opis

When Jake Solomon learns of the death of his estranged father, including the fact that he was murdered, it is viewed as little more than an annoyance. But when he finds his father has left him $300,000 hidden in his secret toy chest and he discovers his father was a CIA agent involved with drug smuggling, this fosters an attitude adjustment, and Jake sets out to find out who his father really was.
In the mold of Chinatown, nothing Jake is told is completely accurate. He finds himself embroiled with a crooked FBI agent involved with the Chicago mob, a pimp who was his father's army buddy and won't give a straight answer about their activities, and a Viet Cong spy claiming she was his father's mistress and that Jake has a half-brother entitled to half of his inheritance.
This tight eighty-thousand-word mystery, Chasing Lies, takes Jake down one blind alley after another as he weaves through a gauntlet of surprises and misdirection that will keep the reader's heart racing long after they learn who was behind Sam Solomon's death and why he was killed.
